Sandy Sorkin, who found the Little Blue at DeKorte this morning, writes:

"The Little Blue Heron is a first for me in New Jersey, as I thought they were generally south of here.

"The other first time in NJ bird [for me me today]was a Sandhill Crane apparently migrating over Montclair.

Overall, today's birds are exceptionally colorful and most of them are at http://sandysorkin.com. (Click on "DeKorte" — Sandy also got one of the Common yellowthroats that eluded our camera today. Thanks, Sandy.)

Don't forget our Mother's Day Walk in Ridgefield this Sunday at 10 a.m. We'll visit the Ridgefield Nature Center — where we will be looking for Scarlet Tanagers, warblers, thrushes and more — plus Monk parakeets on the way to Skeetkill Marsh (for Baltimore Orioles and more).
